What is Value-Based Care?
Two Conflicting Healthcare Paradigms
1. Continued pressure to bring down healthcare costs and reduce
reimbursement (volume-based model)
2. Shift to accountable care and value-based reimbursement tied to
performance of services

© 2019 Lightbeam Health Solutions | All rights reserved. | Confidential. Please do not copy or forward.
The New Realities of Reimbursement
• Commercial reimbursement for FFS is either staying flat or decreasing
• PCPs: flat or slight increase from 2% to 3%
• Specialists: decreases 5% to 10%
• Pressure on hospitals to accept reimbursement at Medicare rates
• Payers are following Medicare and wanting providers to assume “risk”
• Payers will provide incentives for utilization management unless providers can
show evidence of clinical care management through quality outcomes
• The providers taking steps to prepare for “risk” will be best positioned for it

© 2019 Lightbeam Health Solutions | All rights reserved. | Confidential. Please do not copy or forward.
Market Perspective on VBC
• VBC is here to stay; the market has shifted from
FFS to FFV
• Medicare is sending consistent signals to expand
VBC payment models and commercial payers
• All commercial payers have ACO/VBC programs
to transfer risk with intent toward narrow, high-
performing networks

Value-Based Contracting Brings Together…
Managed lives (assigned, attributed) obtained through market
contracting activity and subject to certain performance expectations

Financial risk incentives to manage the population

Provider network attuned to the VBC “program”

VBC infrastructure to support providers in meeting contract


responsibilities

Why Providers Need to Shift to VBC
Collaboration: VBC arrangements serve as an avenue to grow payer
Partnership relationships and partner under value-based care.

Access to New Patients: Now and in the future, payers are developing narrow
Product Growth network products around VBC arrangements, and more specifically, ACOs that
perform well under these arrangements.

Transition to Downside Risk: Most payers will agree to a reasonable


Glide Path to Risk continuum to downside risk that enables providers to develop VBC capabilities.

Access to Data / Market Data Mining: VBC arrangements provide substantial data and analytics that enable
providers to analyze their population of patients. This makes the data actionable for
Intelligence care management, patient retention, and cost efficiencies in respect to FFS.

Value-Based Payments: Shared savings provides additional opportunities to


Enhance / Preserve increase provider reimbursement from the base FFS, which is decreasing or
Reimbursement being eliminated entirely.

Preparing for Risk
Questions for Leaders as They Prepare
for Risk
• How do we know when we are ready to assume risk?
• How do we efficiently manage the shift in utilization?
• What are the most effective speed-to-market care
management programs?
• Where do start in looking at data?
• What data creates the best actionable insights?
• How do we ensure incentives are aligned (physician,
hospital, payer, patient)?

HCC Coding
Automation of HCC care gaps to
ensure proper coding occurs

CMS determines health and assigns risk


to Medicare patients by looking at the
risk adjustment factor (RAF) score. You
can increase CMS funding by correctly
coding during a patient visit.
HCC codes must be recoded each year to
accurately portray your patients’ RAF
score. The HCC coding done in this
current year sets up the RAF and
subsequent funding for next year.

CMS formula for determining reimbursement:


Demographics (Age, Gender, etc.) + Sum of HCC Codes (Factor) = RAF Score
